Report: Chargers place second-round tender on WR Tyrell Williams

The Chargers are making sure that restricted free WR Tyrell Williams won’t be leaving without any compensation coming back their way. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Williams will have a second-round tender placed on him early this offseason.

The tender will force any franchise who may wish to sign Williams this offseason to give up their second-round pick to Los Angeles. Schefter also stated that there have been multiple teams that are interested in signing the 26-year old receiver. Williams could be a player the Chargers look to move if he doesn’t sign a contract with another NFL team.

Williams’ fellow wide receivers Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin are all under contract at the WR position for the Bolts, so there’s some depth on hand if they do decide to make a move this offseason.

Williams amassed 112 catches for 1,787 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Chargers over the last two seasons, one of those being his huge 2016 campaign where he shined in place of Allen, who tore his ACL.
